Company Confirms Canadian Solar Layoffs

An official with Canadian Solar on Speedvale Avenue, says his company is continuing to adjust to the market, and that orders for modular units are down.
And the vice president of human resources and administration, Gary Robertson, confirms that 130 people were laid off from one of the production lines last week.
And while he says the company is still committed to its Speedvale Avenue plant and the city of Guelph, modular orders are down, and the company is shifting its focus to research and development, and what he called, more customized solutions.
